Packing List

If you all have been around here for a while you know that I used to post packing lists all the time... Like, once a month almost!  I looked at my "Universal Packing List" I had listed one day and realized it was in desperate need of an update definitely NOT universal!  I recently posted a college packing list, but that still isn't really the same thing as just a vacation packing list!  I needed a new one of those!  And that, my darlings, is how we arrived back here, at my original inspiration for creating my blog, the packing list.

 This one is in no way "universal," but it encompasses a lot of things that I like to have and make me comfortable while I'm on vacation.  I dan't pack all of this every time, and to be honest if I do pack it all there is always something I end up not using, but I was happy to have it regardless.  So keep in mind, these are just my suggestions!

Toiletries
These are my favorite things to pack, I always pack so much more than I need though!  Just for reference,  I can generally fit almost all of this in one of the hanging cases with pockets that roll up.
  • Teeth
    • Toothbrush
    • Toothpaste
    • Mouthwash
    • Floss (but let's be honest, if I'm not flossing at home, I'm not flossing ofn vacation...)
  • Hair
    • Bring whatever hair products you use on a normal basis, try not to bring too many “Just In Case” things.  I would bring things like Mousse, Hair Spray, Leave-in Conditioner, and Dry Shampoo.
    • Wide-tooth Comb
    • Brush
    • Hair Straightener/Curling Iron/Blow Dryer
  • Body Lotion/Aloe
  • Perfume
  • Skincare products
    • Oil Blotting Sheets
    • Makeup Remover Wipes
    • Toner
    • Facial Wash
    • Facial Scrub
    • Face/Eye Cream
    • Spot Treatment
  • If needed, Contacts, Case, Solution, and/or Glasses
  • Deodorant
  • Q-Tips
  • Shower Gel
  • Body Scrub
  • Shampoo and Conditioner
  • Bath Pouf
  • Razor and Shave Gel
  • If you use any of this on a regular basis… Nail File, Nail Polish Remover, Nail Clips, and Colored Nail Polish.  Don't bring it if you don't normally use it!
  • Medication, over the counter and prescription
  • Emergency Kit (pack things like bandaids, ice packs, gauzes, alcohol swabs... easy fixes for minor injuries.)

Makeup
I always pack too much makeup...
  • Base Makeup
    • Primer
    • Foundation/BB Cream
    • Spot Concealer
    • Under Eye Concealer
    • Powder
  • Cheeks/Contour
    • Bronzer
    • Highlight
    • Blush
  • Eyeshadow (Maybe try to stick to one palette you can get multiple looks out of instead of many individual eyeshadows.) 
  • Eyeliner
  • Mascara
  • Lips
    • Lipbalm
    • Lipgloss
    • Lipstick
  • Tools
    • Brushes (Foundation, Blush, Contour, Powder, Eyeshadow, etc.)
    • Tweezers
    • Eyeliner Pencil Sharpener 


Clothing
  • Bras (Bralettes/Bandeaus, Strapless, etc. depending on the clothing you packed.)
  • Panties, always pack extra of these!  You can never have too many!
  • Fuzzy Socks (A personal necessity for me! But I guess you could also pack normal ones...)
  • Pajamas 
  • Baseball Cap/Sun Hat depending on where you are going and/or your style.
  • Shoes (Sandals, Tennis Shoes, Boots, etc.)
  • Bathing Suit/Cover up
  • Workout Clothing (If that is your thing…)
  • An outfit for each day of the trip with items that can be mixed and matched so you can keep your suitcase as light as possible.  If it makes you more comfortable pack one extra outfit, but try to stick to only one!
  • A dress if you are going out somewhere nice one night.
  • A Belt

Other
  • Electronics
    • Laptop and Charger
    • Phone and Charger
    • Earbuds
    • External Phone Battery and Cord
    • Camera
  • Planner/Pens/Stickers
  • Book(s)/Magazines
  • Blanket and Pillow
  • Sunglasses
  • Wallet
  • Purse
If you ever want to find this post again it will be resuming its rightful place at the top of the page under the header "Packing List."  I hope this helped you all out and gave you an idea of what to pack of your next trip.  Happy travels!

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!

My Summer in a Nutshell...

So I know I have been in and out throughout July, and then completely off the face of the Earth for August... Forgive me guys? I knew you would :) In some ways I thought you might need an explanation for where I have been, so here is it! July... So for the first two weeks of July I was recovering from a June (beach and packing the first two weeks, You saw all of this remember? :)  work and Bible School the last two), This was part of our Bile School castle, it was so cool! :)   doing Summer work (sort of not really ;), and working with the children's Librarian which was amazing! :)  We made Dirt Babies!! Aren't they cute??? The next week was consumed by church camp, which I can honestly say was one of the best weeks of my life! We had services every morning and night, and were part of a huge youth choir. It was a wonderful experience to bond with new people, and get closer to the Lord :) Our group was the second bigge...

Disney 2016: Days 13 and 14

Day 13 12:40 p.m. Good evening everyone! It is officially our last day in Disney... And when we came out of our room this morning we saw this in the window beside us!  One last little bit of Disney magic! Today we all woke up around 9:30, sick.  Apparently sharing and drinking after each other for two weeks now hasn't been in our best interest!  But it's just a cold, so hopefully we can beat it and it will be over soon! This morning we started packing up and organizing everything we have bought, and then my dad and brother went down to the pool.  While they are at the pool, my mom and I are going shopping at the outlets we visited at the beginning of our vacation! Before we left we went to the food court for lunch. I had bacon macaroni and cheese, with a side salad.  We also shared for dessert Nutella gelato (AMAZING) and S'mores bread pudding (extremely disappointing). 6:05 p.m. Well... I spent too much money! We had an awesome time at the outl...
